Description:

Since i upgraded my system to a new kernel-package i am unable to use my firewire-card. I have researched a lot and came to the conclusion, that the new kernel uses the new "juju"-ieee1394 stack instead of the old one. The only solution to make it work again is to blacklist the firewire-ohci and firewire-sbp2 modules in /etc/modprobe.conf.
I don´t know if it´s a good decision to use the new firewire-core.
Refering to http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration#head-d85e38e688c6424c37741239c8c6b1857ee71b93 it seems to be not a good idea to use the new stack yet because of its experimental state.


Additional info:
i added following file:

/etc/modprobe.d/juju_firewire_blacklist:

blacklist firewire-ohci
blacklist firewire-sbp2
This task depends upon
